Excerpt from Gynecological and Obstetrical Pathology: Including Chapters on the Normal Histology and the Physiology of the Female Genital Tract In this volume I have attempted to co-relate information of interest to the clinician and pathologist in such a fashion that both will derive full benefit from this conjunction. Many books are written solely from the viewpoint of clinical medicine, others from the laboratory standpoint alone. Full efficiency can be attained only by combining the two. The general pathologist, and his number is increasing, as standardization spreads and grows, requires a reference book containing not only illustrations of pathological conditions but also an atlas of normal histology. He should welcome a book which contains facts vital for correct diagnosis, reference to the original sources from which they are gathered, and interpretations in terms of clinical significance. Nor can the clinician dispense with these aids to diagnosis and rational therapy. In foreign books the American and English literature has been consistently slighted. I have tried to do justice to Anglo-Saxon publications, by no means an easy task, considering the widely scattered material and the huge number of periodicals requiring consideration. To save space, much information has been placed among the literature in the form of compressed addenda. The illustrations, with the exceptions specifically mentioned (that is, photomicrographs and a very few drawings taken from other sources), were drawn by me from my collection of specimens. As illustrations of gross specimens are readily found in almost all textbooks on gynecology, I reduced their number to a minimum and thus was able to increase the number of pictures of microscopic sections. I owe thanks to many colleagues for their aid in obtaining specimens of uncommon conditions. Among those to whom thanks are specially due are Dr. J. Brettauer, Professor F. C. Wood, Drs. Eli Moschcowitz and F. S. Mandlebaum. Controversial matter, which has so often frightened away would-be students of pathology, has been reduced to a minimum. Theory, too, has not been featured. On the other hand, facts have been gathered, arranged and simplified so as to make them readily available and useful. The microscopical sections are classified as magnified to Very Low Power, X 18 to X 26, Low Power, X 70 to X 105, Medium Power, X 210 to X 325, and High Power, X 400 to X 600.
